The attorney general shall adopt rules in consultation with the division of criminal investigation, department of public safety, for the purpose of classifying felonies and indictable misdemeanors which shall require the offender to submit a physical specimen for DNA profiling as a condition of probation, parole, or work release. Factors to be considered shall include the deterrent effect of DNA profiling, the likelihood of repeated violations, and the seriousness of the offense.
Upon appropriation or receipt of sufficient funds, the division of criminal investigation shall carry out DNA profiling of submitted physical specimens. The division may contract with private entities for DNA profiling. "DNA profiling" means the procedure established by the division of criminal investigation, department of public safety, for determining a person's genetic identity.
